Gravity Race Rules and Schedule
THE MAIN EVENT
Downhill Gravity Racing of stock Johnny Lightning diecast cars.(Excluding Vans)
There will be 16 Elimination Rounds of 16 Racers each.
The Finalist from each of the Elimination Rounds, 16 total, will compete in the Championship Round.
THE PRIZES
The Main Event:
Both the winner and runner up of the Championship Round will be awarded Grand Prizes from my personal collection. This year I'm offering an extremely rare Holiday White Lightning from 1995 and an Original Topper "Mirror Finish" Toronado.
Additionally, you may have a chance to win a Pink Slip Racer (PSR) in each of the Elimination Rounds. There will only be a total of 50 PSR's produced for this years Lightning Fest so this is a very limited collectible. A minimum of Two Pink Slip Racers (PSR's) will be awarded in each of the Elimination Rounds. Each Elimination round will comprise of 15 entrants and one PSR. Prior to each Elimination Round, a drawing will be held to determine the race position of the PSR. One lucky racer in each of the Elimination Rounds will have a chance to race the PSR. If they beat it, they win the PSR complete with Title of Ownership. If the PSR wins, it advances to the next heat and another entrant gets a chance to race it. And, not only does the finalist of each Elimination Round advance to the Championship Round, they also will be awarded PSR complete with Title of Ownership unless they were lucky enough to win one in an earlier elimination round. An alternate prize would be awarded in this instance.

NOTE: The intention is to run all Elimination Races as two car heats. However, I reserve the right to adjust to three or four cars heats as the event progresses if necessary to accelerate completion of all the Elimination Rounds. Specialty classes such as Vans/Unlimited and Vintage Toppers will be run between Main Event Elimination rounds as time permits.
THE RULES
All Participants must register and turn their car over to event organizers.
Each car will have a sticker placed on them with their registration number and will stay in the custody of the event organizers.
There will be a total of 240 eligible racers (16 rounds X 15 racers = 240) Note: the 16th car in each Elimination Round will be a PSR.
Each Participant will be allowed to register ONE primary racer and up to 3 additional racers. However, depending of the total of Participants, some or all of the additional cars may not be allowed to race. For example, if 200 different people register, then only 40 of the additional entrants will be needed to complete the field. These 40 would come from the number two entry of the first 40 entrants. The intention is to allow as many different people to participate as possible. Accordingly, the max. number of participants will be limited to 240.
Those members who have children with a "Genuine" interest in participating are enthusiastically welcomed. However, I don't want to encourage people to register vehicles in different family members names just to have more cars registered in the event.
